A window security grille is a steel barrier fitted across a window so that breaking the glass no longer gives a way in. It can be retractable, fixed or removable, and is most often fitted inside the reveal where it is protected and barely noticed from outside.

Fitting in Stowmarket and nearby

Stowmarket is about 11 miles from Ipswich, the main centre for Suffolk. We can survey and fit across the IP14 district and in nearby places such as Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds.

Suffolk has timber-framed and listed buildings in its market towns, Ipswich's Victorian terraces and waterfront, and coastal towns such as Lowestoft.

This type of grille suits:

Flats with windows onto shared walkways
Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing

Questions we will ask at the survey

Escape requirements

If the window is a designated escape window, the grille must open from inside without a key or tool. We fit quick-release locks for these.

Depth in the reveal

Tracks need a few centimetres of flat reveal. Where the frame sits flush with the wall, the grille can be fixed to a slim subframe instead.

Planning and safety in England

England

Bedroom and escape windows

Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.

Grilles in rented homes

Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.

Window security grilles in Stowmarket: questions

Do you cover Ipswich as well as Stowmarket?

Yes. As well as Stowmarket, we can arrange surveys in nearby Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Diss, and elsewhere in Suffolk.

Can I still open the window with a grille fitted?

With a retractable or removable grille, yes. Many fixed internal grilles also leave room to open the sash or casement behind them.

Do grilles work on bay windows?

Yes. A bay is usually treated as separate grilles for each face, or one grille following the bay on a curved or angled track.

Are window grilles safe in a bedroom?

They can be, provided the grille has a release that opens from inside without a key. Bedroom and upstairs windows often have to serve as escape routes, so we will not fit a key-only grille over a window you need for escape.
